If there are 200 watts out and 10 watts reflected, what's the swr?
Tnx.
Since SWR is the ratio between high and lowest "voltage", you need to
calculate that.
For a 50 ohm line, 100W is 70.7 V, the 10W reflected is 22.4V - so max
voltage is 70.7+22.4 =93.1 and min voltage is 70.7-22.4 = 48.3 so VSWR =
93.1/48.3 or 1.93
(the answer is impedance independent.. I just used 50 for an example)
This is handy to remember a 2:1 is about 10dB return loss (actually
it's 9.5 or something...) 1.5:1 is about 14 dB
For the 200W and 10W case the forward voltage is 100V, the reverse is
22.4 so it's 122.4/77.6 = 1.58
(this is 13 dB return loss, so it's a bit worse than 1.5:1, which would
be 14 dB)
